THE LIFEGUARD Sinks and Swims (Film Review)

Bbbbrrrrrrr Kiwi Lady Here!  It’s Winter down under in New Zealand and The Lifeguard, starring Kristen Bell looked like just the Summery flick to warm me up.  Written and Directed by Liz Garcia, I was expecting a light-hearted, romantic, chick-flick comedy.  Movies about women turning 30 or 40 are usually a big hit for me, […]

Hit Girl hits theatres with a vengeance in Kick Ass 2.  Tough little Chloë Grace Moretz revives her breakout role as Hit Girl.  She’s all grown up and still packs quite a punch.  Kiwi Lady is back to give you the highs and lows of this hard hitting sequel we’ve waited 3 years for.  I […]
